Prince George, B.C.- RCMP are looking for information  about shots being fired on Monday night  at a Moyie Street residence.

When police arrived on scene around 11:17,  they found  the residence was  wide open, no one  home, but there were signs a  firearm has been discharged.   A closer look told police a shot gun round had been  fired at an interior wall.

Although no one was in the residence when police arrived, it is not believed that anyone was hurt. Witness accounts indicate three male youths in dark clothing, including hoodies, entered the residence moments before the gun shot was heard and fled approximately one minute after.

Evidence gathered at the scene indicates that this incident has ties to drug and gang activities. Although a shot gun was not recovered at the scene, a loaded small caliber hand gun and body armour were located. Police believe this to be a targeted attack. The investigation is continuing.

Hoodies? Ought to ban those things. I'm sure the Liberals can make it a law.

I do not think the RCMP report to the media all that quickly. Not their priority.

If you want themn to make it a priority, I am sure giving them enough money to hire another 5 staff members would get us quicker and better reports :-)

Good idea to tax the hoodies on assumption they are gang clothing. It would be called "living off the earnings of crime."

Oh no!I own two hoodies,I must be a gang member!I know people that have tattoo's,they must be gang members.You would be surprised as the everyday people you deal with are gang members or associates.A lot of these people who are gang members are adored and admired by many.
